I signed up with bloglines for an account.
I have added Shifted Librarian, Dictionary.com Word of the Day, Scientific American, CNN World News, CNN Top Stories, CNN U.S. News.
I’ve looked at Debbie Winarski’s PowerPoint presentation, and emailed it to my email account so that I can share it at a Dept. Staff meeting.
Having the aggregator be in bloglines.com means that I need to specifically open that blogine to read it, rather than gathering it in my email. After I completed the bloglines step, my email RSS feed was empty. When I logged out and logged back remotely, I could no longer get to my folders other than what was sitting in my email inbox. I could not check if the aggregator had any of the sites in it that I added in bloglines. Amber came to my rescue and loaded Office 12 Outlook for me (our Tech Assistant was with a Patron) and so I now have my folders and can add a post-it note for my login and password for bloglines. Yippie! Thanks, Amber!!
I can see this being useful to a library department for keeping up with library-wide news, ALA and ILA news, so that in our business, we don’t forget to keep aware of what’s coming up or going on around us.
